Special Effects amazing , character development, not so amazing.

Rating: 9/10 (30 July 2013)

I rated this movie 9 out of 10 because the special effects are simply sublime ! The attention to detail to the whole movie is just unreal. If i'm honest the only lesser graphics are that of Dr. Newton Geiszler (Charlie Day)'s Kaiju tattoos!
As a spectacle Pacific Rim is amazingly entertaining,
I've been too see it twice & enjoyed it hugely, especially the roles of Raleigh Becket (Charlie Hunnam) & Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba) both of whom captured my attention, Raleigh for being the main character with his "bad ass attitude" & Stacker for simply being a "badass!"
My only gripe about this movie is the character development. But as this is not a spoiler review I will let people rate that themselves.
Overall I would say that I'm hugely impressed by this film because it is hard to make a total cgi fight entertaining without being "robotic" pardon the pun.
I think that Guillermo Del Toro has done a very, very good job on this film and his influence is evident the whole way through with it's intensity.
I hope that this review encourages others to go and see it because it is definitely one that you've got to see on the big screen, it just won't be the same on Blu-Ray or DVD (or I- Store ;) )
Shmaxwell 9/10 (thumbs up)
